T 1 defend it. No toollei. was aCcaniplithed,whi-n the enemy debauched along the bridge of Belay, and advanced against the division /Vlontrichard, which was supported by the division 'Clause!, I imine 7 diately ordered General Clausel, with General Dczons, and the Bth regiment of light infantry; to coisS the little . river which lay in our front seed maintain a position on the small heights, whic hl the voltigeura had made themselves master of. The enemy marched against us in ft columns I quickly 'drew Up the division of Montrichard, and, ordered the centre column, commanded by General Soyee, to make an attack,-w bile the 79th regiment, commanded by Colonel Ghard, held the right wing of the enemy in check. The attack of the 'centre column, consisting of the 18111 light infantry regi ment, was particularly distinguished. The enemy were thrown into confusion, and lost three pieces of ar i,tery. In this farriops attack, General Sovez was severely wounded. I inaMediately ordered the t Bth et;giment, supported by the sth, to advance against' the left wing of the enemy, who were forced to re treat ; and the obstinate resistance Which they made only called forth new efforts on our side. The elle tny having made a new effort„ were received by the nitli regiment with their usual courage; and Were attacked in their turn. This attack was so'fiei-Ce that the enemy threw themselves' into the liver', where a great number of them were drowned; all of them thatt bad crossed the liver would have been annihilated, hid not 12 piecos at cannon, which they had placed 'on the opposite bank, presented an obstacle to the further pursuit of them. With this saran the day ended. On our left vk lag General Launay was severely wounded, During these all'airt th'e enemy sent off six battalions to attack the position which was held by the Bth regiment. This corps; one 'of the bravest in the French army, under the command of Colonel Bertrand, withstood this attack with great valuer and firmness. After many fruilles*s_efforts torake the position by storm, the enemy were bti , ird itt enclea:- *touring to turn our troops, who *Old thus hAve been placed in danger, when I orderedOeueral Claus eel to advance with:three battalions of the I lth, to giment, not only to relieve and support our troaps, but also to aa offensively, and to threaten the retreo of the whole,Corpa of the enemy. In these circutn;- stanCes thelftb.relkment maintained its ancient re putation; in less .clean three-quarters of an hour tlui enemy lost by assault, oreyacuated all their po anions, and this / result put an end to the battle. . DUring - the n ight We were diligently ernployed.in .restoring the bridge which was broken down.. My resolution was to cross over. by., it with stay whole force before the break of day, in order to come up with the enemy as soon as possible, not supposing that they would postpone their retreat one moment. Rut the restoration of the bridge took up more time than / bad imagined, andt he transport ot our wound-. ed was so difficult, that by mid-day the troops were stun in readiness to, advance. , On tire other hand; the enemy, with 4 or 6000 men, had made en offensive movement, marching upwards along, the Licea. This resolution of the enemy appeared to arise from the near approach of remtortements, sent by General Knesevich, and' which; as was said, viere scarcely a Idw miles WE Vevertlieless the dt vittiou crossed the river without oppo sition; so that while the head of our columns made demon.tratihn towards the pass into the low court- I try, the enemy's tripcips that, were advancing up the VOA retreire'.d, and drew ttp betureva in order of battle %Alth seven battalions, and a great number of Cannon) tor the purpose of di4outtos, the passes through which we 11401 descend irons the heights ' into the plat. Gen. Arizona, at the head of the gadastgimenr, gained as much ground as possible on the bank of . the river, and nO sooner were the Stivaatt toll re giments drawn up, than they advanced against the enemy, and 'forced him to retreat. lo ,a moment we gained xutticient ground to be able to combine the army without winger. The approach of night prevented us from derivingadvantage from .these ope• rations, and at day-break we .tin longer saw the enemy. On the aSd we entered Gospich. On the 20 we marched upon Ottoehatx, ,and came up with the enemy at Jails, who retired on our approach. Oa the admit we ariived beiore.Ottochati, where the sear of the enemy's army had posted themselies, six , battalions strong, with cannon and baggage.. The bridges being broken down, we took a circuit round the morasses of Ottochatz. Gen., Delzons, at the bead of the ath regiment, supported by the ead, droire the enemy Iront all the positions which they. 'occupied, in order to cover the high road. Had not Gen. Montrichard been, three miles behind, the rear of the enemy would have been destroyed, and all their cannon and baggage taken. In the night they retreated with all expedition to Carlestadt ; some baggage, however, fell into our halltiS. On the se6th we reached Segel], and on the 215th Fiume, where the army assembled on the 2911., and from whence we Shall march on the atst, in order to unite with the army of Italy. In this short campaign, about 6000 of the enemy, have been placed hors 'de combat. There has been a great number of deserters. We have either thught or marched fourteen.hours every day ; and the sol diers, in the midst of privations, toils, and dangers, have shewn Themselves worthy of the good opinion , 1t your Majesty. [Hue follow the usual praises be stowed on several of the Officerq 1n the three ditferent battles, we have had 400 killed and wounded.

TOWNSHEN6 PildiAlCH X.t61.." This, Mr. Atitiartay-GcNeast. stated, _MS an aftioo by the Windsor Herald against Mr. Neale, a Gentleman constderable fortune in Nottingham ' shire, to recover 2761: . for his heraldic labours.--- , .. Mr. Neale, he said; being about to build - a- new . • house, and wishing, to brodment his hall of arms , with all the achievenienti of hi ancestors, thought' proper to employ the tietild's College to trace' his pedigree. Accordingly WibilSOr Herald and'Aue Mantle set about that wish, and the blood a the' Neales was traced .back as far as the - reign of Chdiles the Second, but there it was unfortunately 1047 The Neales, however, intermarried with IV ; - duches and Barrys, and their collateral aliiineaßbs : ed Mr.-Neale's wish (or ancestry; for alter a lonnd laborious research, it was discovered that .he leas connected with Foulk, King of Jerusaleni; illilttt the Coneueror,• Cadwallader, Prince of Wales - , be sides the Milesian Kings of Ireland, and Seithial other potentates' of Eurdpe. He was so pleased with this, that he intended to have the armdtial bearings of this illustrious race draticestry painted in glass, to adorn the new hall. The glass-min wag accordingly set to work, and as it was going forward, , he walked about 'the morn, and his Welsh, Bairon, Norman, Jerusalem, and Danish blood beat music in his pulses, as he 'contemplated hit royal' and noble alliances. It chanced, however, that Blue Mantle wantecha, little money for all this rich blood he had given tOihe Plaintiff, but the moment Mr. Neale understood the amount of the bill already itt;- curred was 216).. be refused to go further, or even to pay the labour already incurred: Thii, however, he lutist be obliged to do, and if he chose to delight in heraldry, he must pay the Herald. A man might take a liking to a tool's cap; but the tailor who made it %.% as' not a fool, and must be paid for his work—so it was With Mr. Neale, if he could trace his descent through all his linealS and ollaterals,—' the Herald must be paid ; and he slibtird'prove they had tric'ed him through 256 descents at HO shillings each, and an extra shilling for every criyi.vbed head 61 his relations, which was as Cheap as dill; besides this there were 4.26 armorial bearings sketched at five ihlllings each; and an emblazontnent of several in 'vellum; for all WhiFit labours, which occupied near IWO years, the attrunnt was only s little more than 2701. Mr. Aredikgav-GENthAlt , then,prodnati all those heraldic works, by which it 'appeared that the De fendant had been duly descended from the royal ancetstry attributed to him. Mr. GARROW, for the lidenda'nt, treated the whole as a ridiculous import:Alen of heraldry, and said his client wished only to have his fair pedigree, end' not one foisted upon hill; which Must make him ridiculous to all the w&fd. Under the direc tion of the Court, which held, that if the Plaintiff had been employed, he was entii4ed to fair remune ration, the Jury 'found a verdict- for the Plaintiff, deducing only part of the charges of a journey to Nottinghamshire, when the Plaintiff went to hived title tiettis: COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Ivirit 27. GEISLRAL. C. ASIII.est V. DRUMMOND. The Plaintiffin this case is an eminent performer . on the ilolin, and the Defendant achninistritrix of the late Colnnei Bothwell, rtind the nation was brought to recover 55'04, alleged by the PlaintitY to be due to• him for attending and instructing Colonel Dot hWell on the violin. Mr: Charles Ashley proved the Plaintiff's having attended Colonel 13. at Canterbury and Hastings (at both whidh places the Colonel's Regiment laid), frequently for a fortnight and three weeks at a time, ever Since the year '1842, up to,tha latter part' of , last year the Colonel also whilst in town had coo stately a musical party twice a Week at his lodgings, which the Praititiff always attended at the Colonel's desire, and for which lie had received no remuneta-' rice whatever. The Rev. Mr. Graham, a friend of the Colonel, 'proved Mr.. Ashley's frequent attendance, and he always conceived that the Colonel considered the' Pl:timid' as entitled to a remuneration for his tinuble. The defetice set up was, that Mr. Ashley had no demand whatever on Colonel' Bothwell, he having alWays been considered and treated by that 'Gentle , mantis a friend, and not as A professional man, To support this a servant of the Colonel was called, who stated, that whilst , Mr. Ashley was with them at • Canterbury, and other places, i he was always con sidered as a friend of hit master; that he had the use °Ms master's horses and carriage, and a servant to attend on him, and on varidus occasions had worn the Colonel's linen. • • " Captain Tonkin stated a conversation which pass ed between . himself and Colonel Oothwell, in which ,the Colonel stated, that he had sent 601. to Mr. Ashley to be applied to a 'particular purpose, for * which, however, it was not eventually wanted ; he had therefore requested . Mr. Ashley to keep it in part'rernuoeration of hie trouble, but that he (Mr. Ashley) had refused to do so. Mr. Dance, Mr. Sale, and several other profes 7 , sional Gentlemen were called, Who stated the charges in the bill to be tirderatn Ores. The Learned Jtidge observed, the question for the Jury to decide on was, whether the Plaintiff hnd any right to make this demand, it would have loOked much better if he had delivered in a bill during the' lifetime of Colonel Bothwell ; it certainly had a very strange appearance; that the bill should - have been suffered to run on from 1802 to the' time of the Co loners . death in January last, and no demand made during all that time. The evidence of Captain Tonkin also, of the refusal of 501. was also a strong circumstance in his mind,' towards proving that the Plaintiff at that time had ~no intention of making anydemand of the description of that now made. If the Jury should be of that opinion, they would find a verdid for the Defendant, if they were of A con trary Opinion, they ,would find for the Plaintiff— . for the Defendant. BATES V. BITTIMITOII.

The Witnesses oft the part of the plaintiff swore po sitively that p citti of the,,iiSevl commission tees were.sheivn to the 'defendant vilien be first applied, and,Char he did not object to them. On the part of the Defendant, much ~caress was upon the scandalous excess, of charge, made by the Plaintiff, whose demand it was alledged 6!..jght to• be well satisfied by the 101. 'paid into Court: Witness, who was presetit at one of the, interviews between the Defendant add the Plaintiff, swore that there was no card of commission fees shev.at to the Defendant, and that it was Understood mutually that the Plaintiff Was merely to refer the applicants for the purchase of the house to the ,Defendant, who was to take upon himself the entire neootiation of the business.

CLERKENIVELL SESSIONS. Yesterday lYilliam Goodwill, a boy of 14 years of age, the driver of a hackney coach, No. 1053, was indi&ed for assaulting Patrick Crawley, a watchman of St. Giles's parish. The Prosecutor was on his beat • on the evening of the 2d of February last, in Bo yard, leading into Broad-street, St. Giles's, when a hackney-Coach came driving violently' along; the place was narrow, and he called' out. , The driver, however, drove on, and crushed , him 'against the wall. He cried -out, "Do you - mean to kill me?" to which he replied; ".1 don't mind killing a- watch man," and drove on into Broad-street. lie called , out, 'and - the coach was stopped opposite St. (Peet; church; and the. number taken. The'Prosecutor was Very flinch bruised, and a considerable time under din hands of the apothecary of the work house. • • • The Jury found the' Defendant guilty ; but re. commended him to' the lenity of the Court, on the ground of his youth, ? e nd believing the injury arose rather from carelessness than malice. The Learned Chairman said, the frequency of such conduct mado,it pilblic concern,' and callid for an example. Norait• Hayes was .-in,ikied for assaulting Sarah Moss. The.Prosecutrik it a ieWess, and her hus band keeps'a slop shop in King -street, and is what is called a crimp.

The Prosecutrix, appre hensive of distemper, , refused to take him in, and he • was sent to the workhouse, but died in the ad of• removal. ' The Defendant, a poor Irish servant in the neighboorhOod, indignant at, what she. con sidered a' cruelty, in refusing to admit 'the:dying black, upbraided. the Prosecutrix, and :astlisted to put the man into the chair in which- be was con veyed to the workhouse,' wrapping his blanket about him, and placing his bundle under his head. The Prosecutrix swore, that upon bidding her mind her master's business, she meek her a violent blow on the mouth, and knocked out one of her teeth. She was supported by the swearing of another wo- • man, and herbrother„ to the same etre& In 'con_ tradielion to this, six Women, who witnessed tire whole transaction, swore that the Defendant Merely assisted the miserable man, and that thereupon the Prosecutrix said she wanted to. rob him that 'the Defendant said, " She thanked God it was , not from a Christian's 'door the blaCk was turned . away.”— That the Prosecutrix then spat in her face; to which she observed, that was what was done - on tire same day to Jes us Christ and, snapping her tinges, said, it it-was-not for the law, she would 'use her worse. .- , --They were positive she neverstrvi!A: her. Upon this•evidence, the Jury, without hesitation, acquit ! . led the Defendant.. The whole of this clay was occnpied in trials of as• wholly void of interest or smpol tante. • The indictment against Mr. BOND for writing a threatening letter to Mr. PHILLIPS, for the purpose of extorting money from him, stood for trial at the present Middlesex Sessions.
